015 [Action | Video]

[Rose is sitting on the floor in her flat, taking down a Lego wall. Her hair is in pigtails because it seemed appropriate for the curse today. All around her the flat seems to be made of legos--except for the hammock bed, even the City wouldn't mess with the hammock bed.]

How's the rest of the City lookin' 'cause my flat is brilliant. Was just talkin' to the Doctor the other day 'bout planets made of Legos. This is almost as fantastic.

[ooc: When the poll for comm or Hybrid wraps up, I'll link this in the community or whatever is appropriate.]

Comments

I'd assume they've seen them somehow maybe? or a variant thereof

[am_i_being_rude]

What's that? A wily coyote and a roadrunner is a ridiculous pair. Although agreed about the boots.

Works for me! It's an old enough cartoon it's gotten around

[iwasherefirst]

Well just with the way he's always usin' things like anvils and rockets and the like, then endin' up hurtin' himself. Runnin' into a door frame with rocket boots is somethin' he'd do.

[She's got a bulk of the balcony floor laid now and is out there on it now, finishing up the edge of it and starting the rail.]

idk that he's ever sat down to watch it though

[am_i_being_rude]

Likely to take out the frame entirely. Good chunk of the wall as well. I don't think it's worth going that fast inside. Bikes are better. Or big robots.

[He's still working on the flooring a bit. Owing to distraction, although that chunk thing he put on earlier was railing. Sort of going out and up at the same time.]

Very possibly not

[iwasherefirst]

We ought to get bikes. Could go ridin' 'round the City.

[And then a grin.]

'Less you're goin' to build us big robots to walk 'round in.

[She doesn't really expect him to build it in chronological order.]

working out what bits of pop culture work is always confusing too

[am_i_being_rude]

I'm not really a big fan of walking around in big robots. Better to see things with your own eyes, feel that breeze through your hair, touch things properly! [And they're too much like Cybermen. But also legitimately with the tactile.] Bikes aren't bad though. Have to go coatless though. It's amazing how it's a universal constant, getting things stuck in a bicycle chain.

[Good point.]

Yeah I can imagine

[iwasherefirst]

Maybe we ought to stick to just runnin'. Works better with the coat.

[am_i_being_rude]

Yes, and the coat is very important. Helps with the being impressive. Not that I need that, obviously. And it's warm.

[iwasherefirst]

Bit like a super hero's cape.

[am_i_being_rude]

[Oh he's not going to take that as an extreme personal compliment at all, regardless of how much or little he may regard himself as a superhero. He's suddenly all the puffed up.] Exactly! It's not really there to do anything except look cool! Except for being warm and having great big pockets, just like a cape!

Now the words 'Billowy Coat King of Pain' will not go away

[iwasherefirst]

[Well she did mean to puff up his ego a bit with that one so she's pleased to see it had the desired effect.]

Sorta gives you that billowy saviour sorta look.

ahahaha whaaaaat

[am_i_being_rude]

Saviour? Yeah? Billowy's fun too. I don't mind that description.

[He's got his corner all squared up and is getting the rail around towards her now.]

[iwasherefirst]

Well you saved me a time or two. Coupla other people as I remember it.

[She's sort of working from the middle to the other corner. Ought to work out fairly well.]

[am_i_being_rude]

That makes me a saver. You've got to do something better to earn the IOU.

[iwasherefirst]

Hmmm somethin' like...save the universe a dozen times or so?

[am_i_being_rude]

Might do it. Not from every perspective but the majority of people tend to agree with the universe's continued existence.

[iwasherefirst]

Think maaaaaaaaybe you qualify for the IOU then. If there's a question, think I can sway the vote for you.

[She's near the corner on her end of things.]

[am_i_being_rude]

That'd be great. You can be my character reference in case my character's ever called into question in court. Again.

[iwasherefirst]

Just put me on your resume. Character reference, job reference, emergency contact, allthose sorts of things.

[am_i_being_rude]

[He makes a face.] Rose, promise me I won't ever have to make a resume. I don't think there's enough paper to actually finish it.

[He's starting to get his bit of the floor to match up with hers in the middle.]

[iwasherefirst]

[She turns around, crawls toward him then stretches, leaning forward to press a kiss to his cheek.] Promise you'll never have to make a resume. You can be an unemployed genius with me workin' 'fore I'll let that happen.

[am_i_being_rude]

[That was a very good promise.] Thank you. Much better. Not sure how I feel about that role switch but I suppose my ego can take the hit to avoid resuming.

[iwasherefirst]

[She thought so too.]

Hmmm [pause to pretend consider] Think I can handle the ego part.

[am_i_being_rude]

I warn you, it can get to frankly gargantuan levels at certain points, start messing with it too much.

[iwasherefirst]

Mmmmhmmm. Yeah. [So much teasing grinning] I know. M'pretty confident I can keep it in check anyhow.

[am_i_being_rude]

[Mutual.] I'd say you've got a fair shot at it, yeah.
